“Velvet #1 is Ed Brubaker doing what he does best: dark, thrillers with a noir vibe. With the help of his Captain America and Winter Soldier artist Steve Epting, Velvet is poised to be a fantastic new book”-Kelly Thompson, Comic Book Resources"Velvet truly does feel like both of these guys at the top of their game doing a series perfectly crafted to each of their artistic strengths."-Ian Stephen, All-Comic

"Steve Epting's art here is evidence why I'm so fond of him as an artist. He jumps right in and captures the feel of the time period perfectly. Combined with Elizabeth Breitweiser's colors, this book is a visual feast."-Tony Guerrero, ComicVine

"A brilliant start to a series I am over the moon to see on the stands, Velvet #1 is yet another masterpiece waiting to happen from the hands of Brubaker and Epting."-Matthew Santori-Griffith, Comicosity
